One Piece 824: not a bad chapter, mostly focused on comedy but with some glimpses of the threats to come with rampaging yonkou. The comedy was pretty funny, though, with Luffy characteristically slow recognising who his father is, and then his appalling attempts at cooking.
HunterxHunter 351: In an abrupt change of setting and with no build-up, we’re suddenly launched into one of the events the series has been building up to for almost its entire run – the showdown between Hisoka and Kuroro. This is going to be an odd clash and it’s difficult to imagine any pay-off that will satisfy everybody, but it will certainly be exciting to watch this unfold.
Naruto side-story: The Path Shone by the Full Moon’s Light: If the return of HunterxHunter wasn’t enough, here’s more nostalgia. But in fact, this back-story for Boruto’s Sasuke equivalent was very good, probably the best chapter of Naruto in...well, at least five years, probably ten. Orochimaru set up a wonderful deception where part of the rouse was making Mitsuki believe in a completely different lie. A nice multi-layered trick with lots of excellent artwork. A pleasant surprise.
